Currently use it to find those hiring(seeking work now) and then find them on Facebook and message them there. Ppl use facebook everyday and supposedly recruiters and HR people are perusing social networks to help with their hiring decision, so I'm using such too to highlight myself from the crowd.

I use LinkedIn to gather info only, then find them on Facebook; they reply awesome, if not move onto the next one! I did subscribe once to LinkedIn and let them continue to charge my card. Though once i tried to cancel it i ended up in web consumer cancelation purgatory; they let u in but make insanely difficult to leave. All web services do this - ick. Have a dislike for LinkedIn and all that pull such crap!
